The Commissioner’s Review for 2010 reviewed and evaluated the progress each district has made toward a fully implemented diploma system.  Review teams, whose members represented a broad range of educators, reviewed both electronically submitted documentary evidence and materials provided on site during each school visit.  The site visits provided opportunities for reviewers to meet with administrators, teachers, and students and discuss different aspects of the school's diploma system as experienced from their different perspectives.  Reviewers wrote up feedback based on their observations and review of materials as measured against the Diploma System Criteria.  RIDE provided formal feedback and an indication of the district's progress toward and gaps in implementation based on the reviewers comments.

The review materials are provided below for information purposes.  The Commissioner's Review 2010 Letters are posted here as public documents and as a follow-up to requests to view the letters.  Included with the letters are notes from follow-up meetings held between RIDE Secondary staff and district representatives.  The notes indicate plans and progress made since the review process and represent the ongoing work in districts in order to meet the full implementation expectation for 2012 Commissioner's Review.
